Lyrics

We met at bedlam football, among signs that said “go pokes”
I shared my flask of Red Hot to warm you in the cold
Sang “closing time” at Murphy’s and stumbled down the strip
By the time the daylight found us we were raptured by the myth

We were unsinkable
Waving at the shore feeling like conquistadores
Unsinkable
Sailing through void by the stars of Capricorn
Young, dumb and beautiful

I got a job in Tulsa with a wildcatter crew
You moved back home to Ardmore till I saved enough for 2
By the time you started showing we were already engaged
Graduated happy to apprentice in afraid

We were unsinkable
Giggling like a baby in the middle of a war
Unsinkable
Fighting hard to keep our faith in unicorns
Young, dumb and beautiful

The life we live in wake of love feels somehow counterfeit
Football games on Saturdays like dope fiends take a hit
I taste the days of old with every sip of beer
A life I can’t revisit so I wear the souvenirs

We were unsinkable
Never had a doubt about the oath that we both swore
Unsinkable
Charging like a bull into the matador
Young, dumb and beautiful
